to establish three
routes: one to tbo Craigville sec- j
tion, one to the Primus neighbor- !
hood and the other by Jones X
Roads and Dry Creek returning
to town by Douglas church. The
people on the three routes pro
posed are certainly in need of better

his family occupied one of these*
and they barely escaped with their
lives. Three one-horse farms, on
Mr. Wylie's place were also destroyed
by hail. Mr. T. Y. Williams'
cotton crop was also injured
by hail and bis corn badly
damaged, by the creek. The residence
of Engineer Wall in town

Wide Tiro Wagons.
Maurice O. EMririgo in Southern
Farm Magazine.
Ono of the beat ways to prevent
the formation of ruts and to
! keep earth roads in repair istby
tiie use of wide tires.on all wagons
carrying heavy, burdens. In
most foroign countries the not only
use the.four to six inch tires on
i.iarkot wagons, but on many of
the four-wheel freight wagons,
in addition to wide tires, the rear
nxb'S are made fourteen inches
longer than the front ones, so that
the hind wheels will not track and
from ruts. Water and narrow
tiros aid one another in destroy ing
the roads, while on the other hand
wide tires are road makers. They !
roll and harden the surface, and J
every loaded wagon becomes, in
?fleet, a road roller. The difference
between the action of a
narrow tiro and a wide one is
about the same as the dilTeronco
tlfttw-Afn *1 I'rownni' mvl I1 frtmnni>.
v.w .. .. .
tho ono tears up and the other
packs down. By using wide tiros
on heavy wagons the cost of keeping
roads in repair would >he
greatly reduced The introduce
tion in recent years of wide metal
tires which can ho placed
on the wheels of any narrow fir- !
ed vehicle at a nominal cost has
removed a very serious objection
to the proposed substitution of
broad tires for tho narrow ones J
now in use.
